The ABS system will be carrying out a short system test every time you start the car and move off, so the high pressure pump will get run for a short time and probably the individual brake line solenoid valves, so there will be a slight bit of activity noticed. That's interesting. Do you think that...

On my Polo (DSG) when starting from cold I get a slight vibration when pulling away from stand still. (Feels like the gear is in a too high gear for the speed) Its done it from new.

I'll go in and see what it's set to - thanks

When cold, I sometimes hear the exhaust rumble from 1st->2nd and 2nd ->3rd gear Maybe that is what you hear? I don't think so as it's exactly at 10mph and a very repeatable noise not very exhaust rattly I think. Could it be the central locking ‘auto lock’ kicking in? That roughly the speed it happe...

I see from your signature details that your car’s got DSG transmission. Maybe a silly question (and apologies for asking it) but when you’ve come to a stop, applied the handbrake and taken your foot off the brake pedal, do you still have the DSG selector lever in ‘D’? If yes, then the car will natu...

Hi, new round here having just picked up my 2019 drum braked Polo from a VW dealer. Having the same issue with the handbrake, doesn't hold and very crunchy to apply. Booked back in to review. If I get anything other than "new cables fitted". I'll be rejecting it. I also have an ancillary p...
